The Make-Ahead Ginger Wellness Shots You'll Want For Every Sore Throat - Tasting Table

"On the days you feel crummy, you won't have the energy to create any elixirs or health-supporting concoctions - which is all the more reason why you should act preemptively. You can prepare an immunity-boosting ginger shot to put back the next time a whisper of any illness strikes by following wellness coach, Miriam Hahn's recipe for ginger root wellness shots. The feel-good recipe requires only two ingredients and can be made ahead of time."

"Then, simply add the two to your blender. Blended until smooth, you're free to pour yourself a wellness shot to take fresh. Whatever you don't take can then be poured into ice cube trays and left in the freezer. They'll need several hours to set. When they are, you'll have and ingredient you can use to make warming, ginger-lemon tonics that you can enjoy all year round."

"Once frozen, these lemon-ginger cubes can be snuck into all kinds of recipes to keep sickness at bay. For a cool, summer refresher, you can use the lemon-ginger cubes to flavor soda water or ginger beer. You may also find yourself sneaking the frozen cubes into glasses of iced tea. Another idea could be to add one to Jenine Rye's cool and refreshing summer green smoothies in the mornings."

Prepare an immunity-boosting ginger and lemon wellness shot using only ginger root and fresh lemon juice. Peel ginger, juice at least six lemons, adjust the ginger-to-lemon ratio for desired spice or tartness, then blend until smooth. Drink a fresh wellness shot or pour the remainder into ice cube trays and freeze for several hours. Frozen lemon-ginger cubes can flavor soda water, ginger beer, iced tea, or green smoothies, and add subtle heat and extra vitamin C. Keep cubes on hand to quickly make warming ginger-lemon tonics or to boost other beverages throughout the year.
